Gardaí Appeal To Public After Blarney Post Office Raid
Gardai have appealed to the public for assistance after a lone raider held up a staff member in a busy post-office in Blarney yesterday and made off with a quantity of cash.
The raider entered Blarney Post Office at around 1.45pm and told the staff member on duty that he was armed with a sawn off shotgun and to hand over cash.
The woman handed over a quantity of cash after which the raider fled the scene on foot in the direction of the Square in Blarney.
It's understood that the woman wasn't physically injured in the robbery but was badly shaken.
Gardai are examining CCTV footage in an attempt to identify the raider who had his face concealed throughout the robbery which lasted just minutes.
Detectives don't believe that the raid is linked to a robbery last week on a shop in nearby Cloghroe where a lone raider similarly held up staff and again made off with a quantity of cash.
Gardai appealed to anyone who witnessed anyone acting suspiciously around the time of the incident to contact them at Gurranebraher Garda Station on 021-4946200.
